Paul Weller - I Should Have Been There to Inspire You lyrics

rate me

Nothing I'd say or I could do

Could move the mountains from your view

Nothing I see or I could show

There's only darkness now I know

I should have been there to inspire you

Not paint your world a coldcold blue

I should have been there to inspire you

I could have told you truthful too

? ? ? - that I believed in you

I could have been there within your reach

This is not self pity of which I speak

I never took time to see how you'd grown

I never took the care it takes to know

Never took the time to see what you'd found

But always had the time to bring you down

More than all this I do not know

Only that love is here to show

Someone a worldto be themselves

A place to fall when all else fails

And friends harsh words cut deep and sore

But believe me mine will hurt me more

In those moments before I sleep

When I am truly alone to see

I should have been there to inspire you

Not paint your world a coldcold blue

I should have been there to inspire you

I could have told you truthful too

? ? ? - that I believed in you
